The couple then answered the question that all of their fans have been wanting answered. How did they come to call each other Tater Tot and Sugar Tot?
“On the menu was Tater Tots and I just went nuts because I love Tater Tots,” Reba recalled of a dinner she and Rex had out with friends. “And so, Rex is famous for giving people nicknames and he said, ‘That’s yours.’”
“My nicknames are legendary. They stick with people,” Linn added. “But I never premeditate them and they always have to present themselves.”
“That was the perfect moment. You ordered Tater Tots, you delved into them like a great white shark with ketchup,” he continued as Reba laughed. “And I just thought, that’s it. It’s ‘Tater Tot.’”
Linn’s nickname came about when Reba’s sister Susie interrupted a phone call between the couple by joking, “Tell ‘Sugar Tot’ hi for us.”
As they say, “The rest is history.” The pair have affectionately used the nicknames in social media posts ever since.
